49 U.S. Code § 48103 - Airport planning and development and noise compatibility planning and programs

(a) In General.— There shall be available to the Secretary of Transportation out of the Airport and Airway Trust Fund established under section 9502 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to make grants for airport planning and airport development under section
47104, airport noise compatibility planning under section
47505(a)(2), and carrying out noise compatibility programs under section
47504(c) $3,350,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2012 through 2015.

(b) Availability of Amounts.— Amounts made available under subsection (a) shall remain available until expended.

In this section, references to the aggregate amounts for fiscal years ending before October 1, 1987–1992, are omitted as obsolete. The words “of which $475,000,000 shall be credited to the supplementary discretionary fund established by section
2206(a)(3)(B)” are omitted as executed. In restating section
505(a) (2d sentence) of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 (Public Law 97–248, 96 Stat. 676), the cross-reference to the discretionary fund was retained but is incorrect because of the restatement of section 507 of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 (Public Law 97–248, 96 Stat. 679) by section 426(a) of the Highway Improvement Act of 1982 (Public Law 97–424, 96 Stat. 2167). See section 47115 of the revised title.
